I've owned this for about 8 months now. Things to know:

- It's REALLY powerful. You'll get dirt out of your carpet that you didn't know you had.
- It's so powerful because it forms a 'sealed' chamber around the brush roller
- The downside to that sealed chamber is it will suck up any thin or lightweight rugs instantly. There's no power setting to tone it down a bit. You can turn the brush rollers off though.
- It's not compatble with high pile carpet/rugs. The brushes will stop.
- The build quality is suprisingly poor. The plastic creaks, things that look like handles aren't for carrying the vacuum around.
- The chord is VERY long, which I like. You can plug it in a central location and reach nearly every room on the floor.
- It's easy to empty, but debris tends to get stuck in the filter quite a bit (especially pet hair). You may have to dig it out with your hand.
- The attachments work very well. If you have a dog the lint brush attachement will keep your couch nice and clean.
- It's a bit heavy, and like I said, the built quality makes you feel like you need to baby it when you lift it up.
- Everything is modular on it, so it's easy to repair and service.

All in all, I like the performance, but I don't think I'd buy another one. Similar models by Shark are made with better materials and have similar performance.
If you have Ruggable rugs, you will need to buy an aftermarket attachment. If not, the suction just sucks up the rugs.
Dyson stick suck a little, Dyson balls suck a lot.

Good price! The Dyson Ball 3 is a solid cleaner. The Anti-tangle brush is a huge upgrade from the older models. Yes the handheld models are nice, but you really still do need a full upright if you have a lot of carpet.

Depends on what you want to do and what your flooring is. The stick Dysons are great for spot cleaning and hard floors, but are just "ok" on any sort of carpeting or for when you want to clean the entire living space. The plug-in Dysons are the "big boys" you break out if you want to do a deep cleaning. If your home is 100% hard flooring and light rug coverage, you'd probably be able to get away with just the stick vac. Any carpeting or tons of sqft, you'd probably want one of the big boys.

I bought this from the warehouse about two weeks ago for $350. Damn. Will they price match at the return center?

I personally have a shark now but recent reviews of any sharks of late don't tout reliability..

Dyson.com has the same product for $299, and extra 4 free accessories (stating worth ~$150).

I am struggling which one to buy:
1. Costco for $280, with extra Tangle-free turbine tool
2. Dyson for $299, with extra Soft dusting brush, multi-angle brush, articulating hard floor tool, and carbon fiber soft dusting brush.

I think main question is: how useful are the extra tools.

It has a cord wrap- you flip a tab and wrap it around the back of the handle.

Adding to your question. I have old Dyson attachments for a Dyson ball, will they still be compatible. They would be about 8 years old now.
